By the editors · 2 min readApple and bergamot offer a crisp, slightly tart fruity-citrus opening, while lavender adds a clean, aromatic freshness that feels both classic and uplifting. Violet leaf introduces a green, metallic sharpness that contrasts with the softer florals, adding a modern twist to the traditional floral bouquet. Ylang-ylang and jasmine provide a creamy, tropical floral heart, with rose adding a powdery-romantic accent that deepens the floral complexity. Sandalwood and vetiver form a dry, woody base that is slightly earthy and aromatic, providing structure without heaviness. Amber and musk add a soft, skin-like warmth that makes the dry-down intimate and enduring. The fragrance is richly floral with a green-aromatic edge, projecting moderately for three hours before fading to a skin scent. Ideal for spring and summer daytime wear, it feels polished yet approachable.
